Do consider the big picture. When picking out front doors and internal doors, or browsing our catalogue of timber windows and sash windows, it’s easy to get excited and think: “that’s the one!” By we urge Reigate property owners to give good thought to how cohesive the product will be in the environment in which it’s to sit. Certain fixtures look fantastic in the showroom of a joinery company, but might clash with other features of your property. For example, more traditional timber windows might look out of place on a more modern, new build property. Plantation shutters look great in most settings, but perhaps best suit bay windows and larger form factor windows, where they get a real chance to shine and bring their unique sense of character to the table.
Likewise, particular styles of internal doors may implement better than others. If you’re looking to join a conservatory with your main property, for example, sliding doors make a lot of sense. Traditional, outward opening doors may intrude slightly on the feeling of open space and air that something like sliding internal doors offer. And when it comes to front doors, ensure you match colour and style with other nearby features, like neighbouring windows, and even the driveway/porch that leads up to it! Do keep in mind that door furniture can be customised, as we are a bona fide joinery company manufacturing its own products, so if you like the look of certain front doors or interior doors but want some slight customisation, that’s definitely an option with our selection of door furniture.
Don’t neglect giving thought to energy ratings. They’re there for your benefit. Many Reigate home and commercial property owners visit our joinery company with the specific intention of improving the energy efficiency of their property. They’re sick of a hard to heat home, and the discomfort and expense that comes with it! Luckily, we have products in each of our ranges – that includes front doors, interior doors, timber windows, sash windows and plantation shutters – which have attractive energy ratings which will help you keep cosy and save some cash while doing so.
But just as people can get carried away with the individual look of a product and neglect the bigger picture, so can the need for something hyper-efficient give way to excitement at seeing something which really tickles your fancy in the way of aesthetics. Stick to the plan, and ask your joinery company of choice what will best do the job of insulating your Reigate home. After all, you can always get creative with customisation e.g through particular door hardware options, to find a compromise between functionality and style (though our product range looks to marry the two, as you’ll see from the great rated, great looking fixtures we have on offer).
Do pay us a visit. As with any big purchase, it pays to see the goods first hand before making any kind of commitment. While there are often online shops advertising deals on products like front doors, interior doors, timber windows, sash windows and plantation shutters, these aren’t the kinds of item you can simply click “buy it now” and forget about; get down to your local joinery company and see what their showroom has to offer!
Located close-by Reigate in Cheam, our team is always willing to talk your through the product range to ensure you find something not only appropriate – but something that will leave you chuffed for years and years to come! From door hardware options, to the ins and outs of why particular windows meet particular needs, we have the answers when you have the questions.
